This infusion of young blood into the
national congress will probably mani
fest good effects during the session.
And nearly every one of these young
congressman are tariff reformers.
~"
Among the boy members of congress
are BEN SNIvELY, of Indiana, who
served a part of term in the Forty
eighth congress; Bob VANCE, of Con-
necticut; JIM PHELAN, of Tennessee;
Bob LA TOILETTE, of Wiscon-
sin; JAKE YosT, of Virginia; Nc
RAE, of Arkansas; ToLBEE of
Kentucky; CHARLIE VOORHEES,, Of
Washington territory; ex-MayOr SHEER
MAN. of Utica; BoURKE COCHRAN, of
New York, and HENRY RUsK, of Balti-
more. PERRY BELMONT, who is now
serving his third term in congress, is
just thirty-five years old. HENRY
CABOT LODGE, the biOgrapher of
WASHINGTON, HAMILTON and WEB
sTER, is thirty-seven; while LLOYD
BRYCE, the novel writer, is year
younger. Representative ENLoE, of
Tennessee, the man who wants to cut
the undelivered speeches out of the
Congressional Record, is in his fortieth
year.
There is rumor down in Kentucky
that Senator BECK is about to remove
from Lexington to Louisville for pOliti-
cal reasons. We don't believe word of
it. Senator BECK is not a man to run
political canvass on wheels. He Is too
big a man to resort to little tricks in
politics. Besides, he would be out of
his element when he got away from the
Blue Grass center. BECK is a blue
grass, blue blooded, blue stocking man
of the olden type, who doesn't have to
fish for living.
The GLOBE was right about it. We
said that the managers of the railroad
lines running into st. Paul would be
wise and liberal enough to grant one,
fare rates over their roads during the
carnival. They have done it, and every
body who wants to come to st. Paul's
great winter show will get a cheap ride.
~
The storm was fairly severe in this
locality, but it wasn't a patching to
what it has been south and east of us.
1t is always st. Paul's good luck to get
the best of everything that is going.
When anything real rough comes along
it invariably strikes bee line for Kan
sas City, which is rapidly gaining fame
as the storm center of the continent.
A Missouri dentist has patented
drug to be used in the painless extrac-
ton of teeth, which he calls bottled
lightning. Being a Missouri invention,
we take it for granted that it is first
cousin to Jersey lightning.
~
Mr.. BLAINE's Illinois fences are get
ting out of repair all along the line. The
Canton Register, which has always been
a pronounced BLAINE organ, defends
the Chicago Tribune in its so-called
tariff heresy. The Canton paper thinks
that it is time that the Republicans
were advocating an industry-encourag-
ing tariff and to quit fighting for
monopoly-fostering scale of duties on
imports.

Reminiscences of Duelling.

The Metropolitan is the Washington
rendezvous for southern men, and no
subject is dearer to the southern heart
than "reminiscences OF dueling in ante
bellum days. Said one Of the south
ern men on a recent occasion:
have no doubt you had game men
in Georgia and in Kentucky and Tex
as; but for real downright pluck and
daring the Virginian takes the lead.
You all remember old Col. Jack Nc
Carthy. of course. He was one of
those men of whom you could safely
say he would tackle a circular saw
without the slightest fear Of the cor-
sequences. On one occasion he had
a quarrel with his brother-in-law, Mr..
/ Mason. The Masons were just as
plucky as the McCarthys and a quar-
rel between such men meant business.
Mason sent Mccarthy a challenge.
Mac replied that he didn't want
to fight his sisters husband,
but to show that he wasn't
afraid he offered to sit on q powder
keg and apply a lighted match 10 it.
When Mason refused to accept this
amendment Col. Jack then offered to
mount to the dome OF the capitol and
jump of. But upon Mr.. Mason still
remaining stubborn the old man &C
cepted the challenge and killed his OPP
Eponent at the first fire.
On another occasion business called
the old gentleman to Arkansas. In
describing his experience afterward he
said he found there the toughest
crowd he had ever seen, and the col
onel was no tenderfoot, / assure you.
One day ct the hetel q big hburiiy fell
low, whose evident intention was o
quarrel, in walking past the old man
stepped on his toes. He did this sew
eral times, accompanying each action
with a mock apologyfor his awkward
ness. The colonel bore it until he be-
came satisfied OF the fellow
and then he suddenly gave hifna kick
which sent him halfway across the
room, at the same time raising his hat

like a bowl Of Jelly, and looking keen,
ly about her with beady eyes, while
behind her walked a youth hardly
come to manhood's age. He wore
a stoyepipe hat and a Prince Albert
coat. The ex-queen wore a black lace
overdress over black silk. She worea
black lace bonnet with long streamert
of ribbon behind, and a mass OF red
roses mingled with the lace, and she
had some very beautiful diamonds in
her ears and at the throat. She went
about .eheapening everything and
looking for some Turkish rugs to buy,
but she seemed to think that heprice
was raised on account of her royalty,
and in a loud aside in French she
spoke to her young son, saying that
he must come there the next morning,

The Best Hog Guesser.

The recent arrest of several farmers
by emissaries in the employ of An
thony Comstock, for mdulging in tht
amusement of guessing at the weight
of a fat hog, leads the 'Thumbnai
Sketcher'' of the Rochester Union tc
relate the following story of Hiram
Sibley, the well-known millionaire o
that city, whose benefactions to Cor
nell university have been so generous
The best hog-guesser western New
York ever produced is Hiram Sibley
of Rochester. A well-authenticated
incident which occurred on a farm
near this city a few years ago abund.
antly illustrates his acumen and
success in this direction. He hadlonG
enjoyed an enviable reputation fol
this time-honored amusement, and
when he visited the farm in question
and found a well-dressed porker ready
for the guessing process, everybody
was pleased, ''for," said one to anoth.
or, there is a man who will get mighty
close this ere animals heft." In
short, Mr.. Sibley was invited to guess,
and proceeded in due form and after
approved ceremony to do so. Said
he, slowly and deliberately, "that hog
weighs exactly Northumberland six.
ty-one- pounds and-a- quarter
No sooner vas the oracuIar sentence
uttered than stalwart hands lifted the
dressed hog from it's hook and placed
it upon the scales. 1t weighed 261 81
half a pound over Mr. Sibley' guess
The latter was thoroughly disguised,
exclaiming, "How could have been
so much mistaken" but he proceeded
nevertheless, contrary to his custom,
to take another scrutinizing view oil
the poker. Presently his eyes lighted
up with triumph, as he detected a
stone in the hogs mouth designed to
keep the Jaws extended while ths car
cass was being dressed. "Take out
that plug" he said, 'sand you will find
it weighs precisely half apound." And
it did, to q grain!
